WHAT IS CLEARING?

If you’re applying through Clearing, find out what to do, and how to apply.

Clearing is how Universities and colleges fill any places they still have on their courses. From 5 July – 17 October 2023, you can apply for a course using clearing if you’re not already holding an offer from a university or college, and the course still has places.

You can use Clearing if:

  • you’re applying after 30 June
  • you didn’t receive any offers (or none you wanted to accept)
  • you didn’t meet the conditions of your offers
  • you've paid the multiple choice application fee of £27
  • you’ve declined your firm place using the ‘decline my place’ button in your application

When does Clearing start and end? Clearing is open from 5 July and closes on 17 October 2023.
